Chapter 1196 Muchuan returned home and ordered Fan Lihua to lead the Musketeers to ambush the Prince's Mansion.
"OK!"
Li Tai nodded, and then said: "Come here! Give me an order! Order all the garrison troops in Luoyang City to gather and stand ready. If anyone is found approaching, kill them immediately. At the same time, issue an order to the garrison in various states and counties."
Ordered them to stick to their posts with the city gates closed.
In addition, send secret letters to officials at all levels and ask them to notify the garrison in each county. If they find the enemy approaching, retreat immediately and do not resist!"
"yes!"
A guard said, then turned and left.
"Your Highness, there are more than 200 Turks! Their target this time is probably Your Highness!"
Muchuan looked at Li Tai and continued to persuade.
"I know, but if we don't fight, even if my people spare me, the emperor will not be able to spare me. By then, there will be a large-scale war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.
We can't lose this time. Once we lose, we will be in trouble in the future.
Although His Majesty is very afraid of the Turks now, if the Turks are allowed to occupy Guanzhong, our people in the Tang Dynasty will be in danger."
Li Tai said.
"I agree with His Highness's decision. Although our Tang Dynasty is strong, the Turks are so scheming now that we cannot take risks."
Muchuan nodded and said.
"Well, that's good, then we will wait for the Turks to attack the city. I guess the Turks will not choose to come during the day. I guess they will choose to sneak attack at night. We can just observe from the top of the city wall. Wait until we take care of everything.
Let’s talk about the cavalry!”
Li Tai said.
"Okay, if it's night, they won't be able to break through our defenses!"
Muchuan said.
"Yes, this will give us enough time to prepare. As long as we prepare properly, we can defeat this Turkic people!"
Li Tai said.
"yes!"
The generals spoke, and then Li Tai summoned several other important ministers to discuss it there. After they figured it out, he began to order people to go down and prepare.
Muchuan came out just after Li Tai summoned everyone, and then returned to his temporary residence.
"Come here, please ask Coach Fan Lihua to come over, quickly!"
Muchuan said, and soon, a messenger ran out. Not long after, Fan Lihua led a group of people to Muchuan's side.
"Master Mu, please come here with me, General. Is there anything urgent?"
Fan Lihua cupped her hands towards Muchuan and said.
"General Fan, now that the Turks are about to attack the city, I think I need your help. How many musketeers do you have here?"
Muchuan looked at Fan Lihua and asked.
"More than 500 people!"
Fan Lihua heard this, was stunned for a moment, and then said, he didn't expect the Turks to come to Luoyang?
This was simply something that he couldn't understand.
"Okay, so, I would like to ask Mr. Fan to send some musketeers to ambush the Turks. You go to Prince Qing's Mansion and ambush there. Of course, you must pay attention this time. The Turks have very powerful weapons. They have
With muskets like ours, if you encounter that situation, be careful! Don't be shot by the Turks."
Muchuan said.
"Okay, I understand. Please rest assured, General Mu, our musketeers will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Fan Lihua said seriously.
"Well, I'll leave it to you. You have to be careful not to be discovered by the Turks. Once you are discovered, the plan will be over."
Muchuan looked at Fan Lihua and said instructing,
"Well, I will obey your orders!"
Fan Lihua heard this, nodded and said, then walked to Prince Qing's Mansion.
At this time, the Turkic scouts had arrived about 30 miles away from Luoyang City. Here, the Turkic generals were considering how to attack.
"General, the road ahead has been blocked. We can't get through at all."
A Turkic man came to the Turkic general and said.
"Hmph, it must have been done by the Han people, otherwise why would they have blocked the road?"
A Turk next to him said with a sneer.
“There are still traces left by the Han people here.
It seems that we have to take a detour from other places or cross mountains, but these are a bit difficult. The mountains around Luoyang are relatively steep, and our soldiers can easily lose their footing and fall off the cliff!"
A staff officer said.
"Then go around from the south and enter from the south. We can enter Luoyang City first, then go around from behind the North City and attack Prince Qing's Mansion."
A Turkic general said immediately.
"No! If this is the case, our troops in Luoyang will be exposed. Moreover, it is too far to go around from the northwest. It is impossible for us to go around. It will take at least half an hour!"
The staff officer retorted.
"What should we do?"
The Turkic general asked immediately.
"We still pretend to be accompanying the Turkic caravan and enter the city, and then sneak in."
Another Turkic general next to him spoke.
"Well, that's a good idea.
But who will pretend?
I don’t dare to take on this task!”
A staff officer said immediately.
"Hahahaha~" the general heard and laughed.
"General, why are you laughing?
We are on a secret mission now.
If it leaks out, we will be in trouble!"
Another staff officer looked at him and asked.
"Hey, we have a lot of muskets here, and they are all veterans, so they should have no problem!"
The general said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. We just pretend to be an ordinary caravan and go in. Don't worry about it. I believe that those Tang soldiers won't be able to find it at all. Our city will be able to successfully retake Luoyang."
The general spoke again.
"Okay, but, General, this task is very difficult. I hope you can be mentally prepared!"
The staff officer reminded him, and then left with the people.
…
Muchuan Mansion.
Muchuan called over two generals, Xue Dingshan and Dou Yihu.
Now Fan Lihua has prepared the musketeers to move into the Prince's Mansion, and Xue Dingshan and Dou Yihu Muchuan have other appointments, so they were called over.
"Sir, did you ask us to come?"
Xue Dingshan said.
"I am going to dispatch you and Yihu to lead 500 combat troops to the outskirts of Prince Qing's Mansion to stop the Turks from attacking! Remember, don't be reluctant to fight. If you can't win, retreat! Because they have muskets."
Muchuan said.
"Ah! Sir, can't we kill them directly?"
Xue Dingshan said a little worriedly.
"No, no matter who it is, don't act rashly, you must let the Turks take action first!
Your goal is to hold them back for as long as possible!"
